Description

The Web 2.0 has provided the world with a new, user-centric Internet model - a utopian society where the power to shape and change the landscape for better (or worse) is placed squarely in the hands of the millions of users. Democratic alternatives to the mainstream, static, rigid print media have sprung up in their dozens, and now, www.sellaband.com is looking to do much the same for the music industry.

How does it work? Bands and artists establish a personal profile, much like Myspace and other social networking hubs, incorporating music, photos, and videos showcasing their talents. Their objective? To inspire other users of the site to Believe in them. If someone wishes to, they may purchase a $10 "part" in a chosen artist (or in fact, as many parts as they like). In return, they receive a share in the profits garnered by advertising and cd sales, as well as a limited edition album, however most importantly buying a part grants a user a share in the dream. It will move their chosen artist ever closer to the magic number of $50,000, whence upon they are offered the opportunity to have their album produced comercially and professionally.

The slick interface and easily navigatable design allow both Bands and Believers to maximise their opportunities with Sellaband with a minimum of fuss; its simple, effective, and a brilliant concept. Don't let this awesome site go unnoticed - become a believer today! I myself have already purchased 4 parts in 4 artists - join me on the fantastic journey into the future of music.
